spring bean optional property - spring

I am using a data source defined in tomcat in my spring configuration as shown in the below xml.
It can happen sometimes that this data source may not be defined in the context.xml of tomcat.
In such cases , the context initialization fails since myDS is not found.
Is it possible to configure the datasource as optional so that application initialisation is not impacted ?
There can be a run time error when this data source is accessed , which is acceptable
<bean id="myDataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="java:comp/env/jdbc/myDS"/>
</bean>
<bean id="myEntityManagerFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="myDataSource" />
<property name="persistenceXmlLocation" value="classpath:META-INF/persistence.xml" />
<property name="packagesToScan" value="com..XX.XX" />
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="myPU" />
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
<property name="showSql" value="#{systemProperties['showSql'] == null ? 'true' : systemProperties['showSql'] }" />
</bean>
</property>
<property name="persistenceUnitPostProcessors">
<list>
<ref bean="wrkflw-punitpostprocessor" />
</list>
</property>
<property name="jpaProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">#{systemProperties['dbDialect']}</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
Thanks

You may check the DelegatingDataSource, you could encapsulate the logic to load the datasource from JNDI within its instantiation. For your application there will be always a DataSource there, but in some cases (whenever its not able to load the DataSource from JNDI) there is no delegation.

How could I use Spring's TransactionInterceptor with JPA?

I have an existing project using Spring 3 and Hibernate 3. I have the following code in order to "safe-guard" the database consistency. If I'm going to convert the project into JPA, how could I resolve the transactionManager property inside the transactionInterceptor bean since JPA using persistence.xml and doesn't make use of dataSource and sessionFactory?
<bean id="transactionInterceptor"
class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionInterceptor">
<property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager" />
<property name="transactionAttributes">
<props>
<prop key="save">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>
Try using a configuration similar to the below xml snippet. This has been tested with Hibernate 4, but I would expect it to work with version 3 as well.
<!-- EntityManagerFactory configuration that doesn't need a persistence.xml -->
<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean"
p:dataSource-ref="dataSource"
p:packagesToScan="${jpa.entity.packages}">
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter"
p:showSql="${hibernate.show_sql}"/>
</property>
<property name="jpaProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.format_sql">${hibernate.format_sql}</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">${hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto}</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
</bean>
<!-- Scans for classes/methods with #Transactional annotation to apply the
transaction management aspect (TransactionInterceptor) on them. -->

spring jndi values from JNDI tree

I am working with spring 3.0 and within our JBoss application server I perform a JNDI lookup to a remote WebLogic application server. The properties to connect to the WebLogic JNDI server are contained in a properties file called soa.properties. Here is what the spring-config.xml looks like to initialize the JndiTemplate bean
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>classpath:app.properties</value>
<value>classpath:soa.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="soaJndiTemplate" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate">
<property name="environment">
<props>
<prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">${soa.provider.initial}</prop>
<prop key="java.naming.provider.url">${soa.provider.url}</prop>
<prop key="java.naming.security.principal">${soa.security.principal}</prop>
<prop key="java.naming.security.credentials">${soa.security.credentials}</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
This works fine for pulling my values out of the soa.properties file, but what I would rather do is pull the WebLogic JNDI connection values out of the JBoss JNDI tree.
My problem appears to be with the initialization of the InitialContext object that requires Properties for initialization.
I put all of my JNDI String values for WebLogic JNDI connection into the JBoss JNDI. Below is the code I am using to pull the values out and initialize JndiTemplate bean.
<bean id="soaUrl" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="soa/provider/url" />
</bean>
<bean id="soaFactory" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="soa/provider/connection/factory" />
</bean>
<bean id="soaInitial" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="soa/provider/initial" />
</bean>
<bean id="soaPrincipal" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="soa/security/principal" />
</bean>
<bean id="soaCredential" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="soa/security/credential" />
</bean>
<bean id="testsoaJndiTemplate" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate">
<property name="environment">
<map>
<entry key="java.naming.factory.initial" value-ref="soaUrl" />
<entry key="java.naming.provider.url" value-ref="soaFactory" />
<entry key="java.naming.provider.initial" value-ref="soaInitial" />
<entry key="java.security.principal" value-ref="soaPrincipal" />
<entry key="java.security.credential" value-ref="soaCredential" />
</map>
</property>
</bean>
My application comes up with these beans created, but when I use testsoaJndiTemplate with say soaConnectionFactory like so it boms.
<bean id="soaConnectionFactory" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiTemplate" ref="testsoaJndiTemplate" />
<property name="jndiName" value="${soa.provider.connection.factory.name}" />
</bean>
The error is so cryptic it does make any sense.
Thanks

Spring JPA Hibernate valid configuration not working with JdbcTemplate?

I do have a working configuration in Spring for JPA with Hibernate provider:
<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
<property name="loadTimeWeaver">
<bean class="org.springframework.instrument.classloading.InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver"/>
</property>
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
<property name="showSql" value="true"/>
</bean>
</property>
<property name="jpaProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor" />
<tx:annotation-driven mode="aspectj"/>
<bean id="jpaTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager"/>
This configuration is working in a small Spring based web-app.
But, when I insert the same configuration into an other existing Spring based web-app, I do get the following exception:
javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: no transaction is in progress
I think it has some conflict with Spring JDBC Templates:
<bean id="mysqlTemplate"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.core.namedparam.NamedParameterJdbcTemplate">
<constructor-arg ref="dataSource" />
</bean>
How can I get this to work side by side?
"no transaction in progress" just means you're trying to use an EntityManager somewhere and you didn't start a transaction first. The stack trace will tell you exactly where that is. Since you're using annotation-driven transactions, just make sure you have an appropriate #Transactional somewhere up the call chain from the location where the exception is happening.

Hibernate temporary datastore

I doing unit testing on spring-hibernate DAOs... configured using
#ContextConfiguration(
locations = {
"classpath:test-applicationContext.xml"
})
but it looks like its transacting with the actual database.
How do I use a temporary datastore with out working on actual database
Define your data store on a separate file and include that xml file with your mail application xml. When testing, include a separate xml file to hold your data store pointing to another database such as hsql. Then this will be the data source referred to by your main applicationContext.xml.
Thanks Guys I used H2 and got it working:

Spring/JTA/JPA DAO integration test doesn't rollback?

My DAO integration tests are failing because entities created during the tests are still in the database at the start of the next test. The exact same behavior is seen from both MySQL 5 and H2.
The test classes are annotated with:
#Transactional
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration( { "/testPersist-applicationContext.xml" })
The transaction bean configuration in the test application context is as follows:
<tx:annotation-driven />
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
<property name="transactionManager" ref="atomikosTransactionManager" />
<property name="userTransaction" ref="atomikosUserTransaction" />
</bean>
<bean id="atomikosTransactionManager" class="com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionManager"
init-method="init" destroy-method="close">
<property name="forceShutdown" value="false" />
</bean>
<bean id="atomikosUserTransaction" class="com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionImp">
<property name="transactionTimeout" value="300" />
</bean>
The entity manager is configured as follows:
<bean id="myappTestLocalEmf"
class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="myapp" />
<property name="persistenceUnitPostProcessors">
<bean class="com.myapp.core.persist.util.JtaPersistenceUnitPostProcessor">
<property name="jtaDataSource" ref="myappPersistTestJdbcDataSource" />
</bean>
</property>
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
<property name="showSql" value="false" />
<property name="database" value="$DS{hibernate.database}" />
<property name="databasePlatform" value="$DS{hibernate.dialect}" />
</bean>
</property>
<property name="jpaProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class">com.atomikos.icatch.jta.hibernate3.TransactionManagerLookup
</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.format_sql">true"</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.use_sql_comments">true</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<context:annotation-config />
Everything in the log files seem to be fine...I can see messages from Spring about rollback and from Atomikos about rollback as well. But frankly, the logs are so huge and so complex, I could easily be missing something...
Yet the inserted test data remains! Any clues?
It turned out that my C3P0 JDBC data source was not XA aware and was therefore not participating in the transaction. Why I did not get an error, nor a warning in the log file, I do not know. Nonetheless, the reason you cannot use an XA aware data source is explained very nicely here. Note that the data source does not need to be XA capable...just XA aware.
Replacing the C3P0 data source with the following one solved the problem.
<bean id="myappJTANonXADataSource" class="com.atomikos.jdbc.nonxa.AtomikosNonXADataSourceBean">
<property name="uniqueResourceName" value="myappDatabase" />
<property name="driverClassName" value="$DS{hibernate.connection.driver_class}" />
<property name="url" value="$DS{hibernate.connection.url}" />
<property name="user" value="$DS{hibernate.connection.username}" />
<property name="password" value="$DS{hibernate.connection.password}" />
<property name="maxPoolSize" value="20" />
<property name="reapTimeout" value="300" />
</bean>
I think you will need to go through the logs in details. It could be that the rollbacks you are seeing are working, except that something else has executed a commit first. I also cannot see anything in your code which indicates automated rollback. And that it should occur at the end of each test. If you are depending on a timeout based rollback it could be that the second test is running before the timeout occurs, therefore it sees the data before it is rolled back.
Many options here there is :-)
